He was graduated at Dartmouth College in 1815 and from Yale Medical School in 1823. Commencing his professional life at Lowell in 1824, two years before the incorporation of that city, he was identified for the last quarter of a century with its growth and improvement, and was eight times elected mayor. In 1853 he was Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts. He was also at one time president of the Massachusetts Medical Society, and from 1860 to 1365 an overseer of Harvard College. He married in 1825, Hannah Hinckley, of Marblehead, who died in 1859. They had five children, including William Reed Huntington.
